Migration Networks as a Response to Financial Constraints : Onset and Endogenous Dynamics
Stark, Oded - 2012
-constrained individuals who seek to finance and expedite their migration. The cooperation agreement creates a network: “established” migrants … to study cooperation between more than two migrants, it emerges that there is a finite optimal size of the migration … network. Consequently, would-be migrants in the sending country will form a multitude of networks, rather than a single grand …

Migration costs and networks : household optimal investment in migration
Gentili, Andrea - 2013
household and community networks and costs and risks of migration focusing on the optimal investment in migration. To … investigate an household optimal number of migrants this paper introduces a Three Step procedure to solve simultaneously for the … endogeneity of network size and possible selection of migrants. The analysis confirms the inverted U-shaped relation between …
